Question

If water is leaking from a certain tank at a constant rate of 1,200 milliliters per hour, how many seconds does it take for 1 milliliter of water to leak from the tank?

GMAT Panda · Accepted Answer

3 seconds We first name the constant leakage rate r. r = 1200 milliliters per hour We then find the time in hours to leak one milliliter by dividing one milliliter by r. t = 1 milliliterr We then convert the time from hours to seconds by using that one hour equals 3600 seconds. t = 1/1200 hours per milliliter t = 1/1200 3600 seconds per milliliter t = 3 seconds per milliliter

Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We first name the constant leakage rate r .$	$r = 1200 milliliters per hour$
$We then find the time in hours to leak one milliliter by dividing one milliliter by r .$	$t = \frac{1 milliliter}{r}$
$We then convert the time from hours to seconds by using that one hour equals 3600 seconds.$	$t = \frac{1}{1200} hours per milliliter t = \frac{1}{1200} \times 3600 seconds per milliliter t = 3 seconds per milliliter$
